    Optimal interleaving for robust wireless JPEG 2000 images and video transmission

    No full text
    In this paper we study the impact of interleaving on JPEG2000 images and video transmission through wireless channels. Based on interleaving impact evaluation, we derive a lower bound limit for the successful images decoding rate in wireless environments. Since the successful decoding rate is of central importance to guarantee Quality of Service to wireless clients, we rely on the derived limit to evaluate the performance of near-optimal interleaved frames using a wireless JPEG 2000 based client/server application. This work is a step toward optimal interleaving for robust Wireless JPEG 2000 based images and video transmission.Peer Reviewe

    La protection des donnĂ©es dans les systĂšmes multimĂ©dia sans fil est un enjeu majeur. Ainsi, le nouveau standard de reprĂ©sentation d image JPEG 2000 spĂ©cifie dans sa onziĂšme partie (JPEG 2000 sans fil), des techniques de protection afin d amĂ©liorer la robustesse des images et vidĂ©os JPEG 2000 contre les erreurs de transmission dans ces rĂ©seaux. Bien que la norme JPEG 2000 dĂ©finisse les codes de Reed-Solomon (RS) Ă  utiliser, elle ne spĂ©cifie pas de mĂ©thodes de sĂ©lection de ces codes. Dans cette Ă©tude nous analysons des traces rĂ©elles de canaux sans fil de type 802.11 puis nous en dĂ©duisons un modĂšle comportemental d erreur au niveau applicatif dans les rĂ©seaux sans fil (modĂšle de Gilbert). A partir des modĂšles de Gilbert obtenus, nous proposons une mĂ©thodologie de compensation de perte a priori qui consiste Ă  sĂ©lectionner empiriquement les codes RS. Nous montrons que les performances en termes de Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) de la mĂ©thodologie de compensation de perte a priori sont supĂ©rieures Ă  celles d une transmission sans protection. Toutefois, l efficacitĂ© de la mĂ©thodologie de compensation de perte a priori est limitĂ©e car cette derniĂšre n est pas en mesure d adapter le niveau de protection des donnĂ©es aux changements de l environnement de transmission. Nous proposons alors une mĂ©thodologie de compensation de perte dynamique qui est basĂ©e sur la protection inĂ©gale des couches de qualitĂ© des images et vidĂ©os JPEG 2000. Cette mĂ©thode offre des performances de l ordre de 10% supĂ©rieures aux mĂ©thodes proposĂ©es dans la littĂ©rature telles que la mĂ©thode de protection proposĂ©e par Zhaohui Guo et al tant en termes de PSNR que de taux de dĂ©codage d image avec succĂšs. MalgrĂ© l avantage que prĂ©sentent ces mĂ©thodes du fait de leur faible complexitĂ© ces mĂ©thodes sont sub-optimales car elles n exploitent pas la diffĂ©rence entre les paquets d une mĂȘme couche de qualitĂ©. Nous proposons alors une mĂ©thodologie de compensation de perte optimale basĂ©e sur la protection inĂ©gale des paquets JPEG 2000. Pour des canaux fortement perturbĂ©s et pour des images constituĂ©es d un nombre raisonnable de paquets JPEG 2000 (infĂ©rieur Ă  1000 paquets), la compensation de perte optimale offre des performances supĂ©rieures aux techniques prĂ©cĂ©dentes tout en offrant l avantage d ĂȘtre lĂ©gĂšrement plus complexe. Au-delĂ  des mĂ©thodologies de protection proposĂ©e, notre Ă©tude se veut ĂȘtre un pas vers la garantie de QualitĂ© de Service (QoS) dans les applications multimĂ©dia sans filNowadays, data protection against transmission errors in wireless multimedia systems is a crucial issue. JPEG 2000, the new image representation system, addresses this issue by defining in its 11th part (Wireless JPEG 2000 - JPWL) some tools such as Forward Error Correction with Reed-solomon (RS) codes in order to enhance the robustness of JPEG 2000 based images and videos against transmission errors. Although JPWL defines a set of RS codes for data protection, it does not specify how to select those codes in order to handle error rate in wireless multimedia systems. In our work, based on the analysis of 802.11 based Ad-hoc network traces, we first derive application level channel models (Gilbert model). Then, we propose a methodology for JPEG 2000 images and videos protection with a priori and empiric channel code rate selection. We highlight the interest of the a priori FEC allocation methodology by comparing it to non protected data transmission. We show that the effectiveness of the proposed scheme can be drastically reduced when the channel state changes because the FEC rate allocation is not adaptative. In this context, we propose a dynamic FEC rate allocation methodology which is a layer-based unequal error protection scheme. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this scheme thanks to a wireless client/server JPEG 2000 based images and video streaming application. The dynamic FEC rate allocation scheme overcomes in order of 10% other existing schemes such as the layer-based unequal error protection scheme proposed by Zhaohoui Guo et al both in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and successful image decoding rate. However, despite their effectiveness layer-based schemes are sub-optimal because they do not take into account the importance of data packets which limits their performances particularly in highly varying environments. We then propose an optimal FEC rate allocation methodology which is a packet-based unequal error protection scheme. The proposed scheme is slightly more complex than layer-based schemes as far as the number of packets constituting the JPEG 2000 image is low (under 1000 packets) and it offers superior performances in terms of PSNR and successful decoding rate. However, if the number of JPEG 2000 packet is significantly important (more than 1000 packets) the optimal methodology can be inefficient for real-time streaming application due it complexity. Beyond the proposition of FEC rate allocation methodologies, our work can be viewed as a step toward the guaranty of Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless multimedia applicationsNANTES-BU Sciences (441092104) / SudocSudocFranceF

    Based on the analysis of real mobile ad hoc network (MANET) traces, we derive in this paper an optimal wireless JPEG 2000 compliant forward error correction (FEC) rate allocation scheme for a robust streaming of images and videos over MANET. The packet-based proposed scheme has a low complexity and is compliant to JPWL, the 11th part of the JPEG 2000 standard. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using a wireless Motion JPEG 2000 client/server application; and the ability of the optimal scheme to guarantee quality of service (QoS) to wireless clients is demonstrated
